Admission and registration in 5 steps

Check your deadline and register via Studielink.nl a.s.a.p.

Make an account and choose your programme

You can register for a study programme via Studielink. In Studielink, you will have to indicate which programme you would like to register for.

If you are registered in a Dutch municipality, you can only register using your DigiD. If you do not yet have a DigiD, you will need to request one. If you do not (yet) live in the Netherlands, you still register via Studielink, but you will not be able to use DigiD. Instead, you create a Studielink account yourself and UM will check your personal details.

Upload your documents in MyUM

Check what you need

After you have registered in Studielink, you will receive an email from UM within 24 hours. This email contains your personal student number and a password. You can use this information to access the MyUM portal.

In order to complete your registration, please upload the following documents via MyUM as soon as possible, at least before the application deadline:

Please note: If you accidently upload a wrong document in the MyUM portal, you can no longer remove it from your digital file. However, you can still upload the right document, but this does not replace the incorrect one. UM judges which documents are right.

A recent passport picture

A copy of your valid passport or your EU/EEA identity card

Admissions procedure and message about admission

The faculty decides on the basis of your quality and suitability

An entrance interview with the Board of Admission is part of the selection procedure. The Board of Admission may impose additional requirements for admission, such as a GRE (general revised test) or a statistics certificate.

Message about admission
On the basis of the documents you have uploaded and the admission procedure for your chosen programme, the relevant faculty decides on whether to admit you. You will receive an e-mail notifying you of this decision. Selection will take place on the basis of your quality and suitability. In this respect your motivation, prior qualifications as well as your professional experience are important. Once UM has made a decision on your admissibility, you will be informed about this by email.
